There is a problem with many HawkBoards shipped from July through
October 2010 by Farnell, Special Computing, IDA and Innovate Software
Solutions. These boards are unable to boot Linux® operating system.
Others who have boards that don't fall under this period can continue
your development.

How to identify this board?
Your OMAP version will be "OMAPL138" and DDR version reads "D9LHR"

If you have XOMAPL138, then you are safe..

HawkBoard.org and TI are investigating the situation in more detail
and will work with you to ensure all faulty boards are fixed. We will
post periodic updates on this mailing list as we work to resolve the
issue.

Please help us prioritize and suggest alternatives to keep you going.
